I wonder what the true motives are behind Mr Stringer's petition? I see he has made the council's 'selling of land at below market value' the main focus of his complaint and wants to know 'who is eligible for such discounts'. He lists 'Property Renovation' as one of his interests on his Linkedin page, so perhaps it's more a case of jealousy and self-interest dressed up as concern for the 'hard-working taxpayer'.

Reading the comments make me think what a load of hypocrites they are. They've had the last 22 years to complain about this woman and not one of them have opened their mouths until the council sold this plot of land in the understanding that the housing association would build this house for her.

As far as I know it has still not been established who ran to the newspapers with this story, so who was it and why did they do it ?

Well that might be true. I mean when my HA came to renovate my kitchen (in my tax-payer funded "mansion" ) I was able to sit down with the interior designer and go over a few things regarding the colour and layout of my units. When they did my front doors I could pick from a choice of 3 different styles and colours.

Bloody outrageous!!

Just wait until they come to do my bathroom, I'm going to demand, with a copy of the Daily Mail in hand ready to wave at their faces, that they swap my bath for a shower. Grrr!

We had the choice of having the kitchen painted or we could choose like for like and have it completely re tiled.

As much as i disagree with what she represents, I actually feel sorry for her, It's been reported that 6 of her kids are by her unemployed lorry driver former partner, who i would hazard a guess pays nothing towards their upkeep, and the father(s) of the other five who i guess pay nothing either.

I think I'm stating the obvious when I say the overwhelming majority of the public want a welfare state, BUT with limits and an emphasis on helping people who are struggling through no fault of their own, NOT to be used as a never ending pot of money to fund individual lifestyle choices.

But there are a good deal of them who only want it for themselves, not for those who they call "scroungers" and "skivers."

It is. There are very sick people out there. I've seen a similar one about the sick and disabled before as well. Nothing but full on hate and obviously not the 'full shilling'. I thought all this was meant to stop after the Chris Jefferies carry on?

I think they are having a last blast at disgraceful behaviour, before they are told to shut up.

Surely it costs the councils more to keep putting homeless families in B&Bs than to get housing associations to build homes.

What am I not supposed to like? The rantings of a man who abandoned his family? A man who stood by whilst his fourteen year old daughter was in a sexually active relationship with a twenty-three year old man? If he cared so much about her, why wasn't this man in prison?

He's an ASS, the lowest of the low to run down his own family to gutter press. Despicable.

Today's revelation: She spent several hundred quid to get a carousel to her house for a kids party. Thats taking the p*ss a bit tbf.

Not half.

I am in no way condoning this woman's behaviour; in fact, she is utterly shameful, but the witch hunt against her is the most pathetic I've ever seen.

Whilst our politicians steal from us &enact policies that allow wealthy people & large multi national companies to legally avoid paying tax, something which costs this country way more than any layabout, we are all obssessing about ONE welfare claimant.

I'm waiting for the next story that tells us she posted a letter with a first class stamp instead of a second class one.
